Last fall I planted over fifty tulip bulbs. I was rather disappointed with how they displayed the spring before. It must have been a good winter for them because even the bulbs from the previous year bloomed this. My favourite are the Queen of the Night.
I spent most of the morning in the garden, planting potatoes, peas, onions and garlic. We are not going over board this year. I might add some carrots tomorrow. That will be determined by the amount of rain we receive overnight. We are currently under a severe rain warning. Last time one was issued, all the low areas were flooded. It was a laugh to see the flag on the ninth hole of the local Golf and Country club waving bravely from the middle of a lake.
I hope you are all enjoying your Victoria Day.
Your tulips are gorgeous! Enjoy the long weekend – I miss the holiday – happy Victoria Day!
Thanks, tulips are one of my favourites, it must be the Dutch heritage. We had a lovely day, 9 on the golf course and it didn’t rain, a little bit of sewing, and watching the NHL playoffs with pizza and beer. Do you have a similar holiday coming soon?
My husband was born and raised in Pittsburgh. . .but I’m cheering for the Sens – next year my Leafs will make it! Next year! 🙂 p.s. don’t say anything about the Sens, eh? 😉
Next year the Leafs will make it! We have been Leafs’ fans for a long time, although now that the Jets are back we have a soft spot for our ‘hometown’ team. I do have a Y2K Leafs’ jersey with ‘Antropov’ on the back.
Of course at this point we are cheering for the Sens, they are Canadian!!! ABM 😉
So are half the Pittsburgh players 🙂 well. . .maybe not half 😉
Beautiful! I planted tulips & daffodils at our cottage in Michigan (we live in Florida) but have yet to make it up there to see them blossom. Maybe I’ll see them next spring after I retire. Thanks for sharing.
That really is an exercise in hope and promise, isn’t it? To plant something without knowing for sure if they produce or not. Michigan is a beautiful state too.
